I bring you the 2016 & 2017 Camera of the year! the true low light destroyer, and guess what? Its got a sensor size the same as the average man's, normal 1/2.8 Sony Exmor-R.. just proof that its not how big it is; its what you can do with it.. lol, sorry I know that was not classy but I just had...
After reading and digesting info from here for the past several weeks, I''m going to get my feet wet with my first IP cam.

The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...

I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...
Hi,
I think this is a new doorbell from YooSee (model SD-M5) and on paper it looks too good to be true:

Hi,
After seeing @jerrysimon's post on this camera I thought I'd take a punt on it. So far so good, but thought I'd post my findings on it.
I bought it from Amazon UK for £56.

Some quick stats.

A successor of Dahua IPC unbricking / recovery over serial UART and TFTP
I recommend you to read through the above thread first.
If your camera still has a working bootloader (assume it does) then you can flash it easily, because:

I present the Ultra 1/1.9" Starlight Bullet, when you need the absolute best in low light performance, damned the cost.
Unlike the EcoSavvy Starlights this is a BIG sensor version.. most people suck at fractions so let me put this into decimal for you: 1/2.8" = 0.357in and 1/1.9" = 0.526in...

All, as I mentioned in my 59232 review, I had purchased some other PTZ’s and would be reviewing. Glad to say that the SD5A425XA-HNR showed up today and looking forward to putting through its paces. This is one that on paper looks to be a great day and nighttime contender to the 49225 and I'm...
Hey guys,
Will make some testing , and then release the firmware to update.
The NVR5xxx-4ks2 has big update now. The firmware suits these models, please check very carefully before updating, if NVR buy from us, no problem to update it.

Intro
I’m pleased to announce we have another worlds first review to kick off, this time on the new HFW5449T1. So whats better than 1 camera (lens), well 2 of course. This camera makes some bold claims of Full Color regardless of low light environments utilizing 2 lenses. Lets jump into it but...
My guess is that it's a Great Horned Owl, but I can't tell because it's too fast. I'm using external illuminators with my IP5M-T1179EW-28MM (downhill) and IP5M-B1186EW-28MM (uphill). Do you think I can get away with a faster shutter speed?
Courtesy of Andy @ Empire Technology @EMPIRETECANDY we have a new Mini PTZ to check out.
This is similar to the one that @tangent reviewed, except this one includes zoom and IR illumination, his model does not.

I present yet another Dahua Starlight, this time a fixed lens turret.. We'll see how this compares to the Varifocal.. I got a 3.6mm and it'll be going right next to my backdoor to replace my aging 3MP 4300S Bullet.
This is an all metal turret with full range of adjustability for suiting any...
What's the difference between getting a camera vs. an IP camera?
How can I get help with installation? Is there a service that will install for me? Can someone do a site evaluation first?
I know Best Buy's Geek Squad does it. It's $100 for a 90 minute site evaluation. Are there any other...
